Thank you for uploading this video! My Fiesta is almost 25 years old but it still keeps going. It requires regular repair, but I am able to fix everything myself with little cost.

99 Mk 4 ghia , 1.25 engine, few issues with fuel pump that need fixing and shes due a big service but body and paint perfect and a head turner still. I love driving it. After renting modern cars on holiday i always feel dead inside even if theyre faster or more advanced. theyre all soulless compared to the fez

I found it odd that you have to reshim the valve clearances much sooner than the timing belt is needed. Who is going to put the old belt back on after taking the camshafts out to add shims? Lol

This was before they invented DVD. The chapter breaks give you a easy target to recognize the split, and then time to react and hit play when fast-forwarding or rewinding the tape. Otherwise, you'd miss content and have to go through the trouble of rewinding and replaying to catch the beginning.

Hello, Thank a lot for the excellent lesson in how to fit the timing chain. I by mistake turn the crankshaft without the main bolt attached. So I miss the timing. I forgot this timing procedure and turn the engine by hand whit a bit efort until it turns. Then again until a bit efort and freely again. Dummy me. Then I read the manual carefuly and insert the timing pin on the slot on the rear engine until the crankshat hit it. Put the iron bar on the slots of the camshafts. Mount all, turn the engine two turns and the timing marks are OK. But there is a starnhe thing. The engine has no compression and wont start. Is tere any possibility to have damaged the valves while turning by hand out of timing?

I always loved driving my sister's mk4 1.25 flight, felt like a limo after my MK3 1.1lx! Power steering, electric windows, central locking, what luxury! And the ride was extremely good too. They both shared a terrifying tendency for lift off oversteer in the rain though, she put hers backwards in a ditch because of it haha. Seems a trend with fords of the 90s and early 2000s, MK1 focus was bad too. Shame they rusted so badly.
